We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948)

Couldn’t agree more with that quote..and what a beautiful landscape to go with it!
Yes I like this quote
Changing from bad to good or vice versa?! ;o)
Change itself is unpredictable.
Windermere?
From my point of view to the Good
It is either the Hardknott or the Wrynose, I can’t remember which!!
If we don’t do it, who will?
Exactly Ginnie
Sometimes it seems almost impossible, but we should still keep trying.
Yes it can feel like an uphill battle, but you are right we should try.
This is such a fine photo of a beautiful place, Cherie – I can understand why my husband goes north to walk so often. He loves the Lake District, and has walked some of the long-distance paths.
The lake district is a lovely place as are a lot of places in the North.
OK, I will stop giving myself a big fat multimillion bonus as a reward for doing my job badly, or even just competently… Oh, hang on a minute. Have I detected a flaw in the thought here?
Plus of course I should really avoid killing innocent civilians with my drones, avoid raping women (or men for that matter) and stop hiding my money in foreign tax havens, and… Nope. Another thought for the week I am not getting on with very well.
I think that is how those people want to see the world, perhaps they are following the quote
I think most people how would rather see a much nicer world…
Unfortunately I do find that most of your quoted thoughts for the week or for the day rather shrivel under the harsh light of reality. I enjoy considering them though, and I think there have been one or two I have managed to nod in agreement with.
And why does my tattered but defiant flag emblem not appear on your page, when it does on my comments elsewhere? Boo to Wordpress again?
What you need is one of these:

Ah. Can’t be bothered with that.
I set mine up ages ago and forgot about. It caused me a problem when I needed to change my profile picture which is several years out of date… That reminds me, I really need to change my Blogger profile picture…
Beautiful landscape! Mankind is flawed. So I am. Patience is needed. I take it one day at a time…
Yes practice is certainly needed, at least by me
A beautiful valley. Gandhi was one smart man.
He was and he was very brave to step out on that path…
It just does something to one, does it not?
Which particular bit does?
Beautiful. Fancy walking there right now.
It is a lovely place to walk
I think we maybe just slide over quotes like that in our heads sometimes, all superficial. But it is a real and deep truth.
I find that with some quotes the more you think about them the more meaning you find in them.
